SGC is quickly becoming my favourite grading company. I love their grade scale and the tuxedos suit pokemon cards so well, awesome video mate!

[@Mattculli]

Mate I love them!!!

[@Mike14x]

I couldn't see myself choosing anyone else.

[@yeseniaflores188]

Pikachu from Crown Zenith is my favorite!

[@lankybogie2109]

Ooh I am quite taken by these. So many amazing cards you submitted there its actually hard to pick a favourite haha has to be the delta species Gyarados though, just love it

[@PokeJay_]

Great content Matt. Not personally a fan of the look of the SGC slab, it looks a little too formal for pokemon, more suited for old vintage sports cards. Personally I'm really loving Ace at the moment.

[@xKatsune]

They look nice as a case to protect your card and to have that black boarder to really focus on your card, but that's about it. I just hate how the label looks. PSA labels look great from the back, but they also suffer from the same problem that I have with SGC for the front of the label. BGS and CGC have amazing labels, with BGS having the most professional and clean look. CGC has the best overall feel of a slab from what I have experienced (Still need to try holding a SGC slab).

[@Mattculli]

Mate the are super clean I personally love them! Labels are subjective though really I am not a fan of BGS but other live them same with PSA it’s defo not my fave label Would be interesting to see if SGC make a new label for Pokémon at all

[@salvadorgomez7760]

BGS and CGC are similar companies. The ex-VP of CGC made CBCS (Comic book grading); who is under CBCS? Well, it's BGS; while the new changes that CGC has made with their black label have not hit with many folks, I would say BGS, SGC, and PSA are the way to go for cards. Even though PSA has trash grading, but there is less drama than CGC.

[@cameronbucar]

I absolutely love the Ancient Mew. Ive been looking at buying one from a seller on Ebay, but the photo's didnt do it enough justice. Seeing yours shine and sparkle in the video, has definitely helped me make up my mind , whether to buy it or not.

[@Mattculli]

its a sick card buddy defo go for one 😃

[@pokekitchen9865]

Dont mind the tuxedo look u can see the backs bit more clearer and corners. Its the label im not kee on love ancient mew

[@Mattculli]

I wonder if they will make a new label for Pokémon in the future?

[@Stormlight8700]

My favourite is Penny, closely followed by the Holon Phantoms Gyarados. I do like how the black makes the art pop.

[@Mattculli]

That penny was a huge pull from my live!!!

[@Smokecorleone415]

Sgc got the better looking display out of all the grading companies.Pokémon cards contrast nicely against the matte black

[@sandydavies23]

My 4 year old son (Noah) favourite card is raquaza! We met you at the london card show and you kindly gave both my children an evolving skies pack each to open 😊

[@Mattculli]

Awww hey guys yeah I remember 😊 sorry they didn’t get a big card but maybe next time!

[@otwing8682]

For my fav card among all cards you opened, definitely the Pikachu from precious collector's box! I think that tuxedo look on the slab give it a little more *chef's kiss! lol

[@Mattculli]

It’s so cool that card!!!

[@RachylouGames]

The one thing that really bugs me about the slabs is the square corners around the card - on some of them it really doesn't look right as it makes the card almost look like it has square corners. I agree with the black though, it does look good. I'm also gonna disagree with the pikachu promo - for once it is one I prefer with a yellow border - to go with the yellow of the pikachu. One of the few cards I will say that about. Some awesome cards and grades though - congrats!

[@NinjaSquirrel30]

Moltres Tyranitar RaquaZza Top 3 Pokémon. Congrats on ya grades some great 10s. Love ya passion

[@Notsoemoemo]

My favorite card is the shiny Mew you first showed. I used to own a copy but I got rid of it some time ago and have regretted it ever since lol hope to win the contest!

[@NECards]

favourite card is defo dialga gold card. It looks sick in the black case, really nice.

[@Mattculli]

the black and gold go so well

[@joetucker7256]

The chonkachu is just so cool every time I see it

[@midnightdragon2269]

Ancient Mew looks amazing with the black background

[@psylentstate1772]

I would try them, my favourite one has to be the radiant Evee, Im still hunting that for my Pokemon Go master set.

[@Mattculli]

Yeah defo worth a go buddy and cheap to send

[@tylerwhite2660]

I just sent my first two cards to SGC today! excited to see that tuxedo look! That Dialga VStar gold in the black case is absolutely fire!

[@Mattculli]

Let me know how you do 😊

[@bskitt87]

Ancient mew looked really nice with the black border, it made the card seriously pop!

[@mattparker5216]

That Gyarados is my favourite, the colours in the art work are amazing and its just topped off with the black surround 👌

[@Mattculli]

Yeah it’s one of my all time fave Pokémon cards

[@pricklycactusgreen]

7:15 that radiant eevee is one for the books!

[@Mattculli]

It looks great with that tuxedo look

[@s1hgamer213]

My favorite card is the ancient mew I wish I had such a beautiful card

[@terryw5550]

I actually really liked that alt art sneasler. I thought it looked more like a painting with the tuxedo slab surround. I'm very impressed with the SGC slabs!

[@Mattculli]

I will sort you a grade bud 😊

[@Rabniffickle123]

That charmander card is my fave, looks awesome in the slab !

[@Pokematri]

I love the good old gyarados, great card and love the black background.

[@MisfitWilly]

Very impressed with the look of these slabs. I was considering sending in but couldn't find any reviews from them, but will definitely be going with them now. My favorite was the entei. I remember having that card when I was a kid and wish I still had it today. Great video!

[@Mattculli]

Mate that’s awesome I’m glad I could help 😊 I will be doing a sub every month now so expect more content soon!

[@tylerjordan9628]

Got to be the holon phantoms gyarados. The lighter yellow and holo pops so well on the black tux slab compared to alot of the newer cards 🔥

[@Mattculli]

It’s one of the if not the best Gary card around!

[@jacedragon]

I wish these slabs were not so wide though. Psa slabs size is perfect just don’t like their pricing and turn around time. Great cards :)

[@nickpinky896]

Got to be the shiny charmander just because it’s my son’s favourite Pokemon but I love the slabs like you said Matt the cards pop and I’ll definitely use them for my personal collection in my opinion I think these are the best looking slabs

[@Mattculli]

That’s awesome to hear! It’s so cheap to so worth sending some!

[@olivermayhew9005]

My favorite card from this has to be the groudon but I do really like the entei with the swirl as well

[@Mattculli]

Aww yeah I love me a Groudon!

[@John-2521]

i think i still prefer Pokegrade but my fav was the new Gen starters

[@roxas0093]

I love the lugian gold card that you graded, and also the Rayquaza event it's not an alt art but still cool cards. And my girlfriend was wanting to see if you graded a Gengar cards, i was shock because she really love gengar for a reason lol🤣. Normally woman will choose a cute pokemon like Pikachu, eevee and etc.

[@Mattculli]

Hey buddy 😊 did the cards arrive I sent?!?

[@roxas0093]

@@Mattculli not yet brother, not sure when it will arrive 😁

[@b3nn3wman95]

Love their slabs but how do you submit to them from the UK? And how did you get it for £11 a card?

[@Mattculli]

So if you use The Grading Club I linked them in the description

[@ryliecage]

I love the artwork on the celebi even at an 8 still gorgeous tempted to get some cards graded after watching this I swear

[@Mattculli]

Do it you won’t regret it and it’s fast and affordable 😊

[@yobed3069]

Gotta love that reverse holo entei promo, love that card!

[@Mattculli]

Yeah that’s an OG for sure

[@keano2921]

17:30 "Any slab is going to [protect your card]" Only Graded: I missed the part where that's my problem

[@Mattculli]

Haha mate I really don’t like only graded….they sell there own slabs on there site which is madness!

[@whitedemon7001]

That gyarados look cool with that black background

[@Mattculli]

It really does!

[@keano2921]

The Pikachu 323/S-P (Precious Collector) looks insane in the black slab

[@Mattculli]

Mate it’s suck right!!!

[@leevincent1919]

That penny card in a 10 was sick. I like the black, deffo worth grading with them for the price 😮!

[@Mattculli]

100% and they do add value not quite PSA but for the price it’s solid

[@nathan_e1987]

Pikachu promo has to be my favourite it just looks incredible.

[@MarketScraper]

Wow the Pikachu from the precious collection is stunning!!

[@Mattculli]

It’s staying in my collection for a long time!!!

[@juanflores-jp1dv]

the Mew card is really sick! manifesting to win!

[@TreyBeEasy]

What are your thoughts on slab sleeves and the potential they have to scratch the slab? Why do you personally choose to sleeve them?

[@Mattculli]

So they come sleeved already from ace! But if I need some get vaultx ones

[@Grayces_exploration]

20th anniversary Pikachu generations, giving me Pikachu promo 27 vibes

[@Mattculli]

its very cool ghat card obviously went to a new home in that stream

[@SnapOnSnipezz]

These slabs are definitely growing on me, my favourite has to be the precious collectors pikachu it's just 👌🏻

[@Mattculli]

It’s a huge card so happy it got that 10!

[@SnapOnSnipezz]

@@Mattculli did you rip your set open or did you get another?

[@pokebeanz15]

The amazing rares were soooo good I think they should do them instead of the radiants in my personal opinion

[@Mattculli]

Mate would love them to do more like the Lugia as one would be awesome!!!

[@Pokematri]

Another question. Where do you find the prices for these specific slabs?

[@Mattculli]

So I do eBay checks and if I can’t find SGC version I check PSA and then take of 10/15%

[@dazzyboi1989]

Great video. My fav was the Gyarados. But there is some amazing cards there 😁. The championship cards are so cool also

[@Mattculli]

Yeah I need to get the label changed but it’s a huge card!

[@TJFrommy]

Actually quite like the look of these slabs! Makes them more art-like honestly

[@Mattculli]

Yeah makes the card pop I think 😊

[@forecastpanda]

I love the PENNY! Can't wait to get my hands on it!

[@Mattculli]

Haha 😂

[@daniel-j-harris]

SGC by far best looking but obv PSA have that famous label on them and reputation.

[@Mattculli]

Yeah all good points bud…I do think SGC will really climb in value though

[@Budnik93]

They look great! I would definitely use them to grade my cards!! My favorite slab has to be the charizard. He's my all time favorite Pokémon!!

[@Mattculli]

Same zard is my boy 👏

[@stoneyp3748]

SGC's look great especially with Pokemon cards, that Rayquaza is my Favorite truth be told.

[@Mattculli]

They are awesome cards really stand out

[@sethkucera3334]

I liked the ancient new the old school look is so nice

[@Mattculli]

Lovely card that

[@cesarj1210]

My favorite one is the Gyarados card.

[@theultimatemagikarp]

They're all amazing. Loving the mew. OG For life!

[@TheMightyBean123]

the groudon!!! So nice looking and shiny!

[@SJWP9]

That ex emerald Groudon 😍 love that set so much

[@Mattculli]

It’s an awesome card!!

[@markgarner5133]

Some truly awesome cards but the golden lugia pips the rest for me. Great video, I've never used this grading company but I'm gonna.

[@Mattculli]

Looks so nice in the black hoarder that card

[@uknighted7]

I like the Ray Ray for sure.

[@theyo-kaiguy]

You just convinced me to start using SGC, I’m also going to start using KSA, which is a Canadian greeting company similar to PSA but just much cheaper.

[@Mattculli]

Awesome always good to try others out bud

[@theyo-kaiguy]

@@Mattculli I agree, I always say, “it’s good to keep your options open” PSA is good but they’re so damn expensive, so I figured why not try another company that’s much cheaper and will give you more for your dollar

[@schalkkruger2849]

The Charizard from celebrations is still one of my favourites

[@Mattculli]

Yeah really nice card

[@rahild245]

Definitely the gyarados! Great Video Matt

[@Mattculli]

Thank you bud 😊 yeah Gary is such a nice card!!!

[@xASAPxGODxx]

My favorite card was that Gyarados I love the old delta species cards!🔥

[@Mattculli]

Mate it’s so cool that card!

[@junichihayashi5202]

I also recently graded a few Pokemon cards and received 4 SGC10 and 1 SGC9. However, US Pokemon dealers and collectors do not value the SGC grade anywhere near the CGC or PSA graded. While I think the SGC slab looks significantly better than the others, collectors and dealers do not agree. Some even going far enough to say that they would crack a SGC graded Pokemon slab and sell Raw. Some people just don't like or acknowledge SGC.

[@Mattculli]

For sure the market hasn’t got there yet for SGC but I think it will…CGC only moved to grading cards 2 years ago so just takes time SGC have been going for 20+ years in sports so do have pedigree

[@schweppesz9215]

You should do a SGC middleman service!

[@Mattculli]

I am thinking about it 👀

[@tyetye5384]

Definetly charmander one of my favorites from all this

[@erikanderson3123]

Loved that Articuno

[@ohwell5211]

Ancient new is my favorite

[@Benjymann]

Whilst I love any Pikachu, I would have to say Ancient Mew for the nostalgia 😍

[@Mattculli]

It’s a wicked card that mew

[@Benjymann]

@Mattculli POKEMON tempted to grade my raw one, has a nice swirl on it and is pretty mint! 😍 what was your favourite one mate?

[@loganpennington5253]

Sgc values are coming up big time 🔥🔥 and definitely rayquaza my favorite

[@Mattculli]

100% they are huge in sports so think they will end up like CGC in no time then maybe one day PSA

I really like this 🙏🏼🖤

[@LupercalRising]

Gyarados is definitely my favourite

[@Mattculli]

Fantastic choice 🥰

[@Autumn3334]

those slabs look awesome!

[@Mattculli]

Yeah I’m a big fan of these

[@s1hgamer213]

One question why don’t you grade your cards with PSA

[@Mattculli]

So I use both…most of my zard are PSA but most other I use SGC or ACE

[@Aidan_minotti]

Yo, I’m thinking of getting 10 Pokémon cards graded from sgc I have a question, is it ok if I just use a regular top loader for them, do I need to use penny sleeves or can I just use some etb sleeves, and do I have to put 2 peice of cardboard on top of the cards, or is that just something for extra safety

[@Mattculli]

100% you need to use clear penny sleeves you can get them on Amazon for under £4 and I would suggest using semi Regids however you can use top loaders as a last resort but you risk the cards being damaged when they get removed Better to be safe than sorry

[@Aidan_minotti]

@@Mattculli k, yeah I just bought the semi regids the card savers and penny sleeves on Amazon, and do they give the sleeves and card savers back or no?

[@mauinui10]

I bought a card slated by then 3 months ago for $100 and I’m now seeing that same graded Pokémon card 10, like mine for $900! Is that right or is it one of those sellers that puts up a stupid large price?

[@Mattculli]

So you best to check the eBay solds filer rather than what people are trying to sell it for

[@Mattculli]

As you said some people just ask for stupid money on cards!

[@theglyph277]

my favourite was the shining mew

[@Drakeroach]

Wow ya that ancient mew looks great

[@Syred123]

Nearly threw it half way across the room 7:12

[@Dylan-xn6nd]

SGC grades with AI that follows an algorithm. If someone that’s making fake cards finds out that algorithm they can basically just grade any fake card😅

[@Mattculli]

you reckon? I don't think the AI is used for if they are fake they have the research and ID team for that I think

[@pride_mitochondria3921]

There's probably a human touch that prevents that from happening, but idk
